So the new skill tree was published earlier(Around 3 hours ago as I'm making this post) and there are A LOT of changes. A lot of the life nodes have been removed, you will no longer be stacking 200%+ life. You will be lucky to hit 150%. But to compensate the base life gain per level has been raised from 8 to 12.
Witch, Shadow and Ranger has gotten some drastic changes.

I'm going to be rocking a CI Summoner(If Snapshotting actually gets removed, as GGG promised) and rocking all the auras while tri-cursing everything I see.

Latter picture is by far the best in my opinion. The first one doesn't really fit the whole Wraelcast, social outcast type of thing people got going on.
That Garena-exclusive bear pet though...

It seems that way from looking at the forums.
If someone could add me to the guild that would be awesome.
Character name: Kestner
Just started playing again for the first time since before Scion came out. This game has improved dramatically! I'm still broke and still terrible with this massive skill tree, but the new abilities and supports are very cool, the overall gameplay feels about a thousand times better, and the effects seem much improved as well!
Only thing that's really bugging me: inflation, woah. We're seriously selling shit for 100+ exalted orbs now? How the hell does anybody even get that kind of dosh?
And could somebody give me a hand with my build? I'm making a Storm Call witch. Damage, AOE, and Cast Rate are all very important, so that I can really whomp those storm markers out and cover as much ground as possible (or stack 'em up for big damage), but I obviously don't want to forget about defenses. Defenses are where I suck on the skill tree, because I reason that "the best defense is a good offense," which isn't always the case in Poe! I wanted to go Chaos Inoculation and stack up my energy shield and resistances and such, but how many ES nodes do I need before I'm "safe" enough to do late/end-game stuff? And I couldn't find many resistance nodes that were conveniently located, so I guess I'll have to make up for that with gear.
I've never had an end-game character, so I really don't know what to expect.
Here's what I've got figured, let me know if I need to beef up defenses or whatever:
[quote]+44 to Strength

You could do with a bit more elemental resists. That's fairly low even for Normal, and Cruel will tear you a new one if you're short on resists.
Linky your skill tree and I'll see what I can do with regards to the passives.

Yeah, I was worried about that a bit! I am using a shield, but I couldn't find a convenient way to get over to that shield node that adds resistances for holding one. If I don't find a way to add in some more resists, then I think I'd definitely have a hard time stacking them up enough to prosper in the harder difficulties!
While I go over your passive nodes I should say that you'll have a very hard time of it from late act 3 onwards - the Arc witches and the Banners in Solaris temple/Miscreations in Lunaris are alone bad news without the proper resists. If you can buy a gem of Purity of Elements, or if you already have it, it's a good thing to have. At any rate a good quality set of resistance flasks will patch the hole at least until Normal is over and the beginning of Cruel, but not any longer than that.
Hokay, if you're willing to sacrifice a little cast speed in favor of survivability, and are willing to wait a couple more levels, this should do:

But this said any more in the way of resistances/ES will have to come from gear.

that's only in standard league, the new challenge leagues start in a couple of days and stuff is way cheaper since everyone is starting fresh
speaking of which the passive tree is changing massively too, especially in the witch area, so don't get too attached to your current build

Heya, that's lookin' good. Thanks for the help! I think that'll be enough to make a big difference, for sure. Are there any particular uniques that you think might fit this build well? There's so much new stuff, I don't even know! Storm Call is my primary ability, and it's heavy AOE damage, so I guess anything that improves lightning damage, area of effect, or casting speed would be good. I don't have any particular gear yet; I figured I'd just try to find or buy some good rares, unless there's something that would be perfect without costing 4000+ exalted orbs.

[URL="http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Divinarius"]Divinarius[/URL] is pretty solid for Storm Call if you take the crit route, which is the best one to go imo
40% increased Global Critical Strike Chance
(50 to 70)% increased Spell Damage
(80 to 100)% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
+10 Life gained on Kill
+5 Mana gained on Kill
10% increased Radius of Area Skills
You can search [url]http://poe.xyz.is/[/url] for items you want to check for how much people are selling them.
Looks like you can get one for around 1 exalt, which isn't too expensive if you farm it up a bit.
As far as weapons go I would look for a decent rare wand with + spell damage and maybe some cast speed/spell crit. There are no real GG uniques that would fit your build to my knowledge unless you count Pledge of Hands, but that's a very expensive unique and is a staff to boot.
edit: fuck, forgot about Divinarius

That's not bad, price-wise, but I'm not going the crit route, just straight damage. I prefer more consistent damage output to the chance-based crit, I think. I'm looking at Moonsorrow now, and that looks like a really good choice! I'm tryin' to figure out how this trading site works so I can price-check it!
Moonsorrow is cheap but it also has a high level requirement. By that time you can find a rare wand with better stats easy enough.
If you're not taking the crit route you'll still miss out on damage in the end, even if you opt for the consistent damage. With power charges you can achieve 70-80% crit chance without a lot of effort. Calculating in the big crit multi bonus which is usually around 300-400%, you'll pump out a lot more damage.
A dedicated crit build overall has pretty consistent damage as well.

The new patch is about to drop and it is making some huge changes to the Witch, Shadow and Ranger area. It's also changing ES and Life around a bit and for the past few days I've played around with the new skill tree and it seems like ES will be reigning supreme once again.

I went on poebuilder and I just made something quickly. Managed to get 20K DPS with a 6L. I haven't played Stormcall much(Only once in the last league until around level 40) and now with the addition of Spell Echo it seems pretty strong. And that's with a Moonsorrow and a 6L. With a spelldamage shield and castspeed gloves/lightning damage jewelry you could boost it significantly.

Crit will produce bigger numbers but Storm call only has a base crit of 4% and with average gear you will be lucky to hit 35-40% crit with it. And with average gear and low amount of currency going non-crit is a better choice.

That build looks great, but will the lack of resistances be a real problem?I mean, there's already so much damage and cast speed worked in that I could probably get away with picking gear based on ES and resistances first and foremost, but will I be able to make up the difference with just that? Otherwise, I'm not too worried about this skill tree change anymore! It's even better than my current build in everything but those resistances.
